Our IVF consultation...
So we just got back from our IVF consultation with Dr. Chu and we made the following decisions:
I am going to be taking a 6 month break to basically get my body in shape for the IVF. The topic of weight did come up and Chu feels that it would be better for me to lose some weight because that will make for a healthier cycle and even a healthier pregnancy. I had asked her if my weight had anything to do with these miscarriages and she said it "might have".
She also said that weight could have an effect on how fast my body responds to the drugs and since we are spending thousands of dollars on this it would be better and maybe even save some money in the long run.
On a side note she took ALOT of blood from both of us to see if there if we are compatible.
So we are going to take the summer off, go on a nice vacation and prepare to start again in the fall.
Thank you again for your support and good luck to everyone!!

Re: Our IVF consultation...
as someone on a break, I think its a great idea.
I would also suggest going for a second opinion when you get your bloodwork back. I have been really happy with NSUH but in retrospect I think it would have been a good idea to shop around. If you were spending 0K on laser eye surgery, you wouldnt just go to the first person you see. You would shop around.
Good luck

Dumb question but where would I even go to get a 2nd opinion on bloodwork? How can they re-analyze the same results?

Not a dumb question at all, I dont mean to re-analyze the bloodwork, but to get an overall opinion and once you have the blood results the other MD will also be able to see the big picture. Maybe there is something that wasnt ordered etc....

A plan of action is always the best thing. I'm glad to hear you have a clear idea of what you are going to do and I can tell you that a break is a wonderful thing. It really gives you a chance to clear your head.

Personally, I say Secrets Excellence in the Dominican Republic -- but don't expect to diet there, the food is incredible!
Good luck to you guys!
